gry | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-06-24/reinfection-covid-more-severe-new-variants/101178246 - why would a virus want this to happen - i thought as a virus evolves, it becomes less severe | 12:27 |
de-facto | by which process would a virus evolve towards a certain property? | 12:57 |
de-facto | for a certain mutation the metric of success is how well it competes with the other mutants prevalent in the same biological niche of resources (e.g. hosts with a certain type of most common immunity) | 12:58 |
de-facto | which disadvantage in terms of viral reproduction would it mean to a new mutant if the associated disease caused by it takes a more severe progression after this mutant already passed the time window in which it would transmit to a new susceptible in a population? | 13:01 |
de-facto | if most transmissions take place by spreading from asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic phases of disease trajectory, that window of time where carriers still are either unaware of their infectious status or are not symptomatic enough to go into isolating themselves from social contacts it only would mean a disadvantage for a mutant to cause more severe progressions if that would lead to significantly more containment efforts being implemented to | 13:03 |
de-facto | close down transmission paths | 13:03 |
de-facto | something that we do not really observe anymore in most western countries, hence a mutant causing more severe disease in later stages does not really have a disadvantage spreading to the next host in the early, still mildly or even asymptomatic phase, therefore there is no selection bias towards this particular property of a mutant to be a disadvantage in the one metric that counts for viruses: competitiveness in reproduction. | 13:05 |
de-facto | https://covariants.org/shared-mutations | 13:06 |
de-facto | %title | 13:06 |
Brainstorm | de-facto: From covariants.org: CoVariants: Shared Mutations | 13:06 |
de-facto | gry, as you can see in that table comparing the mutations, the Omicron variant BA.2 now gained S:L452R mutation from Delta and the characteristic S-gene dropout S:H69- and S:V70- from Alpha or BA.1 | 13:08 |
de-facto | this resulted in the new variants BA.4 and BA.5, the second spreading now in most countries https://covariants.org/per-country rapidly increasing and possibly beginning to infect lung tissue more again | 13:10 |
de-facto | so possibly gaining S:L452R may have enabled it to cause a bit more severe progressions and S:H69- and S:V70- enables specific PCR tests (those testing for S-gene dropout or SGTF) to identify that BA.4/5 from BA.2 | 13:11 |
de-facto | also it seems it can infect recoveries from BA.1/2 just fine, hence it can cause reinfections | 13:12 |
de-facto | that results in increasing daily infection numbers in many countries as well as viral load in test samples going up (causing PCR tests to already reach detection threshold with fewer cycles, hence lower CT values) | 13:13 |
de-facto | which is not good news, because more viral load also means carriers potentially are more infectious by shedding more virions onto their environment | 13:14 |
de-facto | its causing a "summer wave" in many countries, nothing too dramatic, but unfortunately also not a pause from COVID | 13:15 |
de-facto | in the northern hemisphere ofc | 13:15 |
